New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.We identified and characterized the gustatory and ionotropic receptors of Cydia pomonella using transcriptomics and in silico approaches, linking candidate sugar receptors to larval feeding attraction. Functional assays and behavioral tests highlighted isoquercitrin as a key feeding stimulant, providing a foundation for olfactory‐ and taste‐based pest ...

Report of the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia plutellae (Hym.: Braconidae), from Iran [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2008 This paper reports the occurrence of the hymenoterous parasitoid of the diamondback moth larvae in Iran. One species of Braconidae, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), was collected from larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lep.: Plutellidae). This parasitoid,

Seasonal phenology of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), and its parasitoids on canola, Brassica napus (L.), in Gauteng province, South Africa [PDF]
, 2003 Canola, Brassica napus L. (Brassicaceae), is a relativelynewcrop in SouthAfrica. Several insect pests, including diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), that attack cruciferous vegetables, also attack canola.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Bt transgenic crops do not have favorable effects on resistant insects
Journal of Insect Science, 2004 hypothesized that insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins produced by transgenic crops could have nutritionally favorable effects that increase the fitness of resistant insects eating such crops.

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Bacillus thuringiensis resistance in Plutella – too many trees? [PDF]
, 2016 Plutella xylostella was the first insect for which resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis was reported in the field, yet despite many studies on the nature of this resistance phenotype its genetic and molecular basis remains elusive. Many different factors
